Tulsa Telephone Book Lyrics - Dave Dudley

Have you read any good telephone books lately? 

If you ain't then let me recommend one 

I've already read that Tulsa telephone book through thirteen times 

If you don't know any last names it ain't much fun 

Well, I was in Tulsa and didn't have anything going 

And she was in Tulsa and didn't have anything on 

She said, my name is Shirley and I said, my name is Dave 

I woke up the next morning and she was gone 

Readin' that Tulsa telephone book will drive a man insane 

Especially if that girl, you're looking for has no last name 

I got to find her and tell her I don't want our love to end 

So I'm readin' that Tulsa telephone book again 

All of the Tulsa operators know my voice now 

They must know how long I've been alone 

If you see a girl named Shirley with some ribbons in her hair 

Tell her that she's wanted on the phone 

Readin' that Tulsa telephone book will drive a man insane 

Especially if that girl, you're looking for has no last name 

I got to find her and tell her I don't want our love to end 

So I'm readin' that Tulsa telephone book again 

I keep on readin' that Tulsa telephone book again 

I'm readin' that Tulsa telephone book again
